Attention! You're currently using the OT&E environment.

Domain simulation
Simulation

Because of limitations regarding registry OT&E environments, it can be troublesome to adequately test certain processes, such as auto renew and auto delete.

For these situations we provide a 'simulation' registry: 'Mockup' on our OT&E environment with two TLD's :

'.sync' for synchronous process simulation (200 response) and '.async' for asynchronous process simulation (202 response).

This registry has all the functionalities of a regular registry, with some custom logic to simulate certain processes.

Auto renew / Auto delete

To simulate the automatic renewal or automatic deletion of a domain, register a domain where the SLD is set to 'soonexpired', i.e.

exampledomain.soonexpired.sync

This will create a domain with the expiry date 10 minutes in the future, triggering the expiry handler within the next minute. If the autoRenew parameter is set to true, this will start an auto renew process, otherwise an auto delete process is started.

Redemption

To simulate a domain going into redemption period, register a domain where the SLD is set to 'redemption', i.e.

exampledomain.redemption.sync

This will create a domain and and start an auto delete process within the next minute. This process skips the auto-renew grace period and the domain will immediately go into the redemption period.

Premium

To simulate a domain with premium pricing, check or quote a domain where the SLD is set to 'premium', i.e.

exampledomain.premium.sync

This will return a check domain response with premium: true or a quote response which includes a billable with premium pricing respectively.

If you wish to simulate a premium domain which only includes the premium pricing when created and has regular pricing on renewal, set the SLD to 'premium-create-only', i.e.

exampledomain.premium-create-only.sync

Failed registration

To simulate a failed asynchronous registration, register a domain where the SLD is set to 'failed', i.e.

exampledomain.failed.async

This will return a 202 response, and after around a minute, the registration will fail. The related notification will be sent depending on your notification settings.
